    Made booking & payment via Agoda but upon arrival was told it was already fully occupied therefore couldn't accommodate me. Due to that, not only the inconveniences, it had been a painstaking situation to look for another hotel as couldn't make same day online booking & furthermore have to pay higher rate as walk-in guest. And there isn't even an apology!

    We only stayed at this hotel for one night, but it was such a nice stay and we do recommend this place to people who are staying in Penang. Everything you need is in the walking distance, yet the area around here is not noisy or busy. Room was clean and nice, and mostly, the staff were super friendly and helpful!!!! They recommended us a lot of places from the famous touristy places to the local-loved places. You can trust the food where they recommend ;) Breakfast at the hotel was also really delicious. The walls between rooms were thin so we could hear other people's voices or sounds, but it was not that bad. It was really really good stay and it was much much better than what we expected, especially if you consider how cheap it is to stay at this hotel. We will definitely go back to this hotel when we come back to Penang next time!!!

  • 1/5 Lucy S. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 5 reviews
    My experience with the establishment was considerably challenging, prompting me to compose this review as a cautionary note for prospective patrons. The check-in process was notably protracted, requiring an estimated hour for completion. Additionally, the soundproofing of the rooms was compromised by the inferior quality of the walls, windows, and doors, resulting in significant noise disturbance. The front desk personnel, with whom I only corresponded via Whatsapp, exhibited a discourteous demeanor and provided minimal assistance, which was disappointing. The unlimited coffee everyone seems to love is just INSTANT NESCAFE!

  • 5/5 nor diyana g. 2 years ago on Google β€’ 3 reviews
    Stay here with my friends. Standard Double Room. 1 queen bed at lower floor and 1 more bed at lofting. Overall very satisfy. Convenient for backpackers and youngsters but if your family have elder people or someone that using wheelchair then it might probably not suitable. Host also quick response. Wifi great. Parking limited but you can park at any yellow parking nearby. Got many available parking there , you just need to walk a lil bit. Plus, host able to tolerate. We ask to check out after perform prayer and host okay with that :) Overall satisfy. Thanks! Remind me when i was backpackers at thailand

    Wood no water proofing and it's molding, whole room full of molding smell, no walk space, dirty wall with water leaking signs, need more maintenance work than my grandmother's hometown.

  • 5/5 Toh Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and friendly staff πŸ‘recommend to come over and chill with friends/family.

  • 1/5 Peter K. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible room, total opposite of what the photo showing and other reviewers are saying. The moment u step into the room u get the molding smell, it's all from the washroom. The woods didn't have proper waterproofing and it's molding seriously. The space is terribly small, totally has no room for walking.

  • 2/5 Leen A. 4 years ago on Google
    It just did not suit me and my family. It would be excellent for youngsters though. It was a shop house or old residence that feels like a shop house. The was no lift so my elderly mother had a little problem going up the stairs. And no ground floor room, so we had no choice. I should have read the description better. Even though the bathroom was pretty spacious, we had the unlucky situation of the water pump being broken or some sort of problem that we ran out of water while showering. And I had an early appointment. Plus the staff provided no solution the problem and just asked me to wait an hour or so to fix the problem. I had to ask my sister to get the drinking water they provided on the ground floor to finish showering. But I guess we were just unlucky to experience this particular problem.

  • 5/5 Yew Boon N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and host to assist our check in. That's 2 mini Cooper for photo. Rooms is very clean , and loft type. Suitable for family stay , provided a kids corner. Kitchen available for cook . I like this location is because is center of the Georgetown. Opposite just a famous Malay style char kuey teow. Limited parking space is small problem.
